McKenzie: There’s no negotiations (with Allen)

Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said he will meet with Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen tonight to discuss the Raiders’ coaching vacancy. McKenzie also told CSNCalifornia.com that no job has been offered to Allen, nor are they in any “negotiations,” as reported elsewhere.

“I will meet with Dennis Allen tonight,” McKenzie said during the South team’s Senior Bowl workout at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. “And after tonight, depending on our conversation …that’s when.” Meaning, that’s when McKenzie will decide whether or not to offer the job to Allen.

“There’s no negotiations (right now),” he said. So Allen, who will be interviewing for the second time with McKenzie, could lock the job up tonight? “He could,” McKenzie said. “Depends. He’s got a lot of stuff he needs to answer. Nah, it’s not a lock, irregardless of other people’s reports.”

Adam Schefter reporting that a deal is done between Dennis Allen and the Oakland Raiders, making Allen Oakland's newest head coach.Posted by RSH, Esq. on 2012-01-24 20:49:12

If Dennis Allen leaves, how about bringing back Joel Collier as defensive coordinator? Haha. Collier lasted almost twenty years in that role for the Broncos. We could use such stability right now.Posted by RSH, Esq. on 2012-01-24 20:12:31

Keep in mind that some other coaching hires sounded like a done deal and the teams ended up going in a different direction, sometimes at the proverbial last minute. So who knows. Maybe he'll spill hot coffee on McKenzie by accident. Haha.

If he does go, well congrats and screw him will be my simultaneous reaction (the latter due to going to the Raiders). And I will hold out hope that Jack Del Rio comes our way, if he feels like working this year.Posted by underdog on 2012-01-24 17:42:32
